OMG....it sounds horrendous when you list it all like that....my list is probably similar...except all presents are bought and wrapped....haircuts are voluntary....plaits are avoided.....Santa goes hungry.....and no creeping needed....DDs take own filled stockings to bed.....open in middle of night....and go back to sleep til midday!!!Truffles and fudge are on today's list for making.

Oh my . . . what a long, long list!I'm in pretty good shape. Need to address and mail xmas cards (DH was supposed to do it, but it hasn't happened yet . . . ). I'd like to get something awesome for Henry to put under the tree from Santa and a little something for Paul, but otherwise everrything is bought & wrapped.Rinda

Still so much to do!first on my list is get son home from Amsterdam. his flight is cancelled and we've had to pay more to get him on a different flight with a different airline coming into a different airport. I could do without this stress. Memo to those with young children, you don't stop worrying about them even when they are older!

Your list is quite daunting. I just need to purchase apple and pumpkin pies and cider for Christmas dinner (already got everything else). Gifts and stocking stuffers are located on the same floor of the home as the tree, so once the girls go to bed, I can quickly dispatch that job. And if they stay up too late, I may make them do it themselves! (mine are all teenagers)

ok ur turning into monica and that's scarily organised!!! lol. i've got a memorised list to do and this morning have done 3, pay an important bill, finish making sweets for gifts, next is wrapping rest of presents and making christmas gift boxes.Jo xxx

...is what I speak. It describes what I actually say (nonsense, mostly) and how I say it (ie my accent, which is a mixture of all sorts - a bit of North of England, a bit of Irish, a bit of South West England, a lot of just me!) The word comes from my name, Mel, and the fact that I'm one-quarter Welsh. But there's not actually any Welsh in my accent. Go figure...
